I have recently installed a copy of PocoMail, I pick up my webmail via my POP3 Account usually. At the time of installation I had AVG free and AntiVir installed but found that AVG took so long to scan I lost invariably lost my connection after switiching to Pocomail. After considering some of the advices within this forum I have now uninstalled both AVG Free and AntiVir programmes and replaced with Avast free which is working fine and the login problems cleared. I notice however that Avast Free does not have email protection, does this mean that I am at risk or am I covered by the AV protection of the web email server.

I changed to Avast free two years ago and it has been abs brilliant. It DOES have email protection at it's core. It also has P2P, chat, Web, Network and other protection as standard.
I would stay away from AVG and Nod. Avast is the business imho.
